                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 14, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Noreen Otto for being named a 2016 Forty Under 40 honoree 
by the award-winning central Iowa publication, Business Record.
  Since 2000, Business Record has undertaken an exhaustive annual 
review to identify a standout group of young leaders in the Greater Des 
Moines Area that are making an impact in their communities and their 
careers. Each year, forty up-and-coming community and business leaders 
under 40 years of age are selected for this prestigious honor based on 
a combined criteria of community involvement and success in their 
chosen career field. The 2016 class of Forty Under 40 honorees will 
join an impressive roster of 640 business leaders and growing.
  As the Vice President for Government Relations at Hy-Vee, Noreen has 
been committed to helping stores across the Midwest be as successful as 
possible. Her drive to continuously learn more about her company, how 
it works, and how she can better serve it has led to her success. She 
is also a dedicated member of her community, as she serves on three 
separate nonprofit boards as well as recently being appointed to the 
Jasper County Board of Review. Her willingness to serve others and 
dedication to community involvement is a true testament to her Iowa 
values.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Noreen 
in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I 
recognize and applaud her for utilizing her talents to better both her 
community and the great state of Iowa. I ask that my colleagues in the 
United States House of Representatives join me in congratulating Noreen 
on receiving this esteemed designation, thanking those at Business 
Record for their great work, and wishing each member of the 2016 Forty 
Under 40 class a long and successful career.
